CHAPTER XXXIII

"Check it out! See where we've been? ”

The task force and his team were able to escape from the munitions factory despite all odds.

The explosion-proof vehicle went all the way north towards the "confinement zone" in Beicheng District. At this time, they came to the border area of Dongcheng District, and after taking another step, they entered the boundary of Beicheng District......

"Report to the captain! We are about to leave the East Side and enter the North Side Side. There's a town ahead of it, and it's called Rock Town! ”

Scout Sean clicks on the tactical tablet, looking up the geography.

"Release the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft! If it's safe in town, we'll take a break here! ”

The task force passed through the battle of the munitions factory and suffered a great loss of vitality. It's time to pause and put things in order and relieve the pressure.

Sean put away the tablet and pulled out a black case from under his seat. He opened the box, and inside lay an accessory for a drone.

I saw Sean pick up these accessories and assemble them, and after a while, a complete unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was assembled.

"Captain! The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has been assembled, please instruct! ”

Sean puts the drone on his lap and reports to Captain Parker.

"Find a safe place outside of town and let it go!"

Captain Parker was fiddling with his contacts with his head down, and he didn't lift his head.

"Yes!"

Sean obeyed the orders of Captain Parker and began to direct the explosion-proof vehicle to find a suitable location.

"That's it!"

Sean looked around and found a relatively quiet place. It's only a few hundred meters away from Locketown, and it's a scattered group of infected people wandering aimlessly around the periphery of the town.

The driver stopped the car and turned off the engine, and his teammates sitting next to Sean helped him open the door. Sean got out of the car with the drone in his arms and carefully placed the drone on the ground. Then turn around and get into the car and close the door.

After Sean sat down, he took out the remote control from the box. He manipulated the remote control to lift the drone into the air and began an aerial reconnaissance of Locke Town.

"Captain! No anomalies were found in the interior of Locketown, and no trace of survivor activity was found other than a few dozen infected! ”

Sean took control of the unmanned reconnaissance plane to make two laps around Locketown, and then reported the results to Captain Parker.

"Good! In that case, let's enter Locketown! ”

Parker didn't think there was any threat in Locketown, and with the feedback from the reconnaissance plane, he thought it was a good place for the team to recuperate.

"Remember! Don't make too much noise! ”

Before the task force got out of the car, Parker instructed them to be as quiet as possible so that they would not be besieged by the infected again.

The team members understood and took out *** from their backpacks and put it on the muzzle of the gun.

"Sean, you're in charge!"

Parker seems to have something to do, so he hands over command to Scout Sean.

"Yes!"

Sean put the drone's remote control into the box, and then ordered a few people to follow him into Locketown.

After he got out of the car, the captain Parker, the vice captain and Corey were left in the explosion-proof car. Stan.

"HQ! Please answer when you receive it! ”

Parker did not lead the party into Locke Town because he had to report to his superiors.

"Roger! Please speak! ”

A liaison appeared on the tactical tablet and said in a very official tone.

"I'm Task Force Leader Parker, and I have important information to explain to Major Tina!"

Parker was concise and to the point, naming Tina.

"Okay, I'll contact Major Tina right away!"

The liaison complied with Parker's request, calling Major Tina over a nearby megaphone.

"Thank you!"

Parker thanked him politely and waited quietly for Tina's arrival.

A few minutes later, a graceful figure appeared in the frame. She was dressed in a military uniform and exuded a different temperament.

"I'm Tina! Please speak! ”

Major Tina sat straight in her chair, she had seen Parker for the first time.

"Sir! I'm in charge of escorting Corey. Stan's Task Force Captain Parker! ”

Parker hadn't met Tina before, and he gave a brief explanation of who he was.

"Where is Corey now? Is it safe? ”

Tina lowered her crossed legs and leaned forward. Corey's affairs are currently a top priority, and she can't afford not to take them lightly.

"Corey is safe with the task force. Rest assured, sir! ”

Parker said as he turned the tablet to Corey so that Tina could see clearly.

"Very well done! When will you be able to return to the "confinement zone"? ”

Tina smiled commendably, sweeping away the previous "haze".

"If nothing else, it will arrive in one day!"

Parker re-aimed the tablet at himself and said his prediction.

"Good! Return to the "confinement zone" as soon as possible! I'll be here to welcome the return of the task force! ”

Tina slapped the table and said excitedly.

"Yes! Rest assured, sir! ”

Parker straightened his chest and gave a military salute to Tina.

"Hmmm......"

Tina nodded slightly, and then the screen went black, and it was she who ended the call.

Parker wiped his face after putting down the tactical tablet. Since taking over this mission, I haven't been able to sleep well all day long.

Now, the mission is almost complete. He was able to completely relax and relax, and Parker's mood changed a lot when he thought of this.

He pushed open the back door of the explosion-proof car and leisurely stepped out of the car. The sun was exceptionally good today, and Parker stretched his muscles and walked in place.

"Captain! This time it's over! ”

The vice-captain followed Parker out of the car, and he heard the conversation between Parker and Tina just now.

"Yes! It's finally coming to an end! ”

Parker looked up at the sky, the glare of the sun making it difficult for him to keep his eyes open. He didn't mind, though, and reached out to block out the strong sunlight.

"Corey, will you come down for an event too?"

The vice-captain remembered that there was someone else in the car, so he turned around and beckoned him to get out of the car.

"Oh... Good. ”

Corey put down the materials he was holding and got out of the car.

"What are you looking at?"

The vice-captain became interested in Corey's movements and asked.

"Oh... It's nothing... Just some research material. ”

Corey is a very serious scientist, wearing a shirt and tie. He lifted his glasses and answered the vice-captain's question.

"What are you studying?"

The vice-captain put his arm around Corey's shoulders and leaned over and asked.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!"

Corey was thinking about how to answer the vice-captain's question, when Parker stopped the vice-captain's curiosity.

"Oh! All right! ”

The vice-captain suddenly lost interest and walked to the side awkwardly.

"Don't you mind!"

Captain Parker comes to Corey's side and apologizes to Cory on behalf of the vice-captain.

"Oh... It's okay! ”

Corey smiled, not minding.

"By the way, if nothing else, we'll be able to reach the "confinement zone" by this time tomorrow, and you'll be safe by then! ”

After thinking about it, Pax still felt that he should let Corey know what was going on.

"Oh, that's right! Thank you very much! ”

Corey appeared tepid when he spoke, and didn't seem to care about his personal safety.

"How can you be so calm?"

Parker was amazed, wondering how such a helpless man could maintain his peace of mind.

"I'm getting older, and I'm looking at life and death. I'm just a scientist, and I'll go wherever I am needed. ”

Corey took two steps forward and said lightly.

"That's ......"

Parker didn't know what to say, and the two of them just stood quietly and neither of them spoke.

"By the way, do you have any children?"

After a long silence, it was Corey who spoke first.

"Not ...... yet"

Parker was stunned, wondering why he asked.

"Can I ask you for something?"

Corey was silent again, then turned to look at Parker sincerely.

“…… Tell me about it! ”

Parker obviously didn't expect Corey to say that, he wanted to refuse, but then it didn't hurt to say it.

"I have a son named Zach...... Can you help me find him? ”

Corey behaved cramped, as if he had gone through a fierce mental struggle.
